Why You Should Visit

A three-day summer festival at Ikuta Shrine in central Sannomiya, dedicated to the Daikai shrine on its southern grounds. A special stage in front of the main hall hosts live music every evening — powerful taiko drumming alongside jazz and samba — while around 80 food stalls line the approach and parking area. An easy, atmospheric summer night out just steps from Sannomiya, welcoming to families and yukata-clad visitors alike.

NOTE

Opening ceremony: Aug 7 (Fri) from 18:00, a special performance by Super Strings Kobe.

Stalls: around 80 food and game stalls in the parking area.

Also: a sports experience corner in front of the Ikuta Ebisu shrine.

Held alongside: Kobe Shuyu FES.
